Inspection and Assembly Requirements Following an A/C Compressor Failure

CAUTION: To prevent refrigerant system contamination and possible failure of the new A/C compressor, carry out the following procedures:

1. Install a new Thermostatic Expansion Valve (TXV).
2. Remove the A/C compressor.
- Drain the residual refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor and measure the volume for correct system oil matching.
3. Remove the receiver/drier.
- Drain the residual refrigerant oil from the receiver/drier and measure the volume for correct oil system matching.

NOTE: The thermostatic expansion valve cannot be cleaned and a new thermostatic expansion valve must be installed.

4. Carry out an A/C system flushing or filtering procedure:
- If A/C system flushing equipment is available, clean the A/C condenser core by flushing.
- If A/C system flushing equipment is not available, carry out a system filtering procedure.

NOTE: System flushing is the preferred method of cleaning. However, if flushing equipment is not available, carry out system filtering.

5. Install the new A/C compressor.
6. Install the new receiver/drier, if necessary.
7. Install the new TXV.
8. Correctly oil match the system.
9. Evacuate and charge the system.
